God Doesn’t Want You Happy

What does it look like to actually live out your faith—not just talk about it?

On today’s Steve Marston Show, Steve challenges the idea that God’s primary goal is simply for us to be happy. True joy runs deeper than circumstances. It comes through trusting God, obeying His Word, and leaving the consequences to Him.

Then, in “That’s Not in the Bible,” Steve tackles another common misconception: Is money really the root of all evil? What does Scripture actually say about wealth, possessions, greed, and our dependence on God?

Plus, Emerson Collins from Focus on the Family joins Steve to talk about Bring Your Bible to School Day on October 1. What began in 2014 with thousands of students has grown into a nationwide event involving more than a million participants. Emerson shares encouraging stories of students boldly living out their faith and explains what students and educators can do in public schools.

Also in this episode:

• Why obedience matters more than chasing happiness
• What the Bible really teaches about money and possessions
• How students can live out their faith at school
• The importance of being “doers of the Word”
• News from for KING & COUNTRY
• J.R.R. Tolkien’s upcoming honor at Westminster Abbey
• Faith Between Our Ears: Jeremiah 9:24
• And, of course, the Dad Joke of the Day

The Steve Marston Show is a daily journey in learning how to live more like Jesus—with biblical teaching, conversations with people God is working through, encouragement, and a little fun along the way.
